Friendly Grounds Grand Opening

We’re Open for Business!

Where Coffee Builds Confidence and Community

Friendly Grounds at The Friendship Place is more than a coffee shop; it’s a place where dreams take root and lives are transformed.

Here, individuals of all abilities receive hands-on vocational training in a welcoming, real-world setting. From taking orders to preparing food and greeting guests, our clients are gaining essential job and life skills that lead to greater independence and future employment opportunities.

Driven by the mission to share the love of God and recognize every person’s inherent value, Friendly Grounds offers a space where everyone is celebrated, not for what they can do or give, but simply for who they are.

Every purchase here helps fund our programs, ensuring clients continue to have a space that they can make their own. By enjoying a coffee, renting a space, or attending an event, you’re helping someone grow, shine, and succeed.

Thank you for being part of this story.

Sip. Support. Shine.
